The orc scratched his head, with a simple smile on his square face: "Don't bother, Uncle Ge Xing, we still have to go hunting, otherwise our tribesmen will be hungry today."
Ge Xing's eyes lit up and he said with a brilliant smile: "Well, of course food is more important. When you are free, ask your father to come to our tribe and I will treat him to delicious "food"!"
You stupid bear, if you dare to come, I will beat you until your father won’t even recognize you.
The orc nodded, turned around and led a group of his tribesmen into the distant forest.
"What are you laughing at? Hurry up and get to work. You are all taking advantage of the beasts to slack off." Chief Ge Xing turned around to look at the beasts around him, immediately put away the smile on his face, and said seriously.
The kids just want to see him make fun of them all day long.

Ji Nuan shook her head in amusement and rode Little Moo Moo towards her own tent. Little Moo Moo from Ji Nuan's family was a purebred blue bull beast. The tribesmen were stunned when they saw the well-behaved Little Moo Moo.
Is the creature that followed Ji Nuan obediently and worked tirelessly really the blue bull beast that could pierce an orc’s belly with its sharp horns?
Ji Nuan's success in raising Little Moo Moo brought hope and inspiration to the tribesmen in raising animals.
"Nuannuan, I hunted back a blue bull beast." Xiu Yan's voice rang out outside the tent. Ji Nuan covered the dough in her hand with a porcelain bowl, lifted the animal skin curtain and walked out.
"How was your catch today?" He handed over a piece of wet, clean animal skin.
Xiu Yan took the hide and wiped his sweat, pointing at the blue bull beast that had been skinned and dismembered: "Not bad, I hunted two blue bull beasts, and the rest of the tribesmen got something. I took half of the blue bulls back, and the rest was left for the tribesmen to share."
Because of the construction of walls and houses, the Watson tribe returned to the previous collective hunting period, where everyone hunted together and shared food together.
Ji Nuan smiled: "Let's make beef noodles for dinner tonight. I have kneaded the dough, which is just right for making noodles."
Xiu Yan's eyes lit up, and he picked up the blue cattle meat that was distributed to him at his feet: "I'll go to the river to process it, and I'll cut it into pieces when I come back."
Ji Nuan nodded. Stone knives were heavy to begin with, and her palms would feel a burning pain every time she cut a piece of meat. Ever since Xiu Yan saw her grimacing in pain, he never let her use a stone knife to cut meat again.
As soon as the rainy season was over, Ji Nuan built a simple stove outside, put the pot on it, poured water, and waited for Xiu Yan to cut the processed blue beef meat into pieces and put it into the pot. After blanching it in water, he took it out and put it in a basin.
Cut the prepared seasoning fruit into small pieces and pour into the hot oil in the pan. After frying until fragrant, pour in the blanched meat and continue stir-frying. An unusually spicy aroma wafts from the frying pan, attracting the sound of people swallowing saliva around.
When the meat is almost done, take it out and put it in a bowl on the side.
Clean the pot and heat water. When the water boils, put the pulled noodles in. After boiling for a while, pour in the previously fried fresh and fragrant animal meat. Add some sour fruits and salt, and a pot of delicious and fragrant noodles is ready.
Xiu Yan had already taken two large porcelain bowls and squatted on the side, drooling. When he saw Ji Nuan signaling that it was ready, he quickly went forward to take the pot off the stove and placed it on the table beside him.
He first served Ji Nuan a bowl of noodles and passed it to her, then he served himself a full bowl and sat on a stone nearby, slurping the food.
